"Some of us walk around with a necklace of hope, an armour of sanity, but at the end of the day, they always come off. We reveal our naked, vulnerable, real selves."
"My heart is burning a hole in my chest and every time you speak to me, it keeps sinking, and I'm left with nothing but ashes. I wish she were talking to me, because the more she speaks to me, the more..."
"I wear a necklace of hope with pearly beads. When I met you, it broke, and the beads spilled all over the floor, into the gutters."
"I had a dream that I saw shooting stars with you. Two things that will come close to never happening: Seeing shooting stars, and being with you."
"I'll use the blood from my spilling heart to write the words that were never able to slip out of my mouth, so you can see how much you've broken me into a perpetual state of melancholy."
"I have always wanted to give you the world, so I started giving you pieces of the oceans that kept us apart."
"I'm gonna go put my earplugs in and practice piano for hours until my fingers bleed. I practice the piano with the focus of Helen Keller—and nothing can distract me from the scent of the music.-Karen ..."
"When your heart starts to feel full again. I love FREE refills, and if a restaurant tries to double charge me, I refuse to write a love poem on their Yelp page.-Karen Quan and Jarod Kintz"
"Touch with your heart more than with your hands."
